Ceratizit promotes Troy Wilt to Managing Director of Cutting Tools Division in USA
September 23, 2024
Ceratizit Group’s board of directors has announced Troy Wilt’s promotion to Managing Director of Ceratizit USA, Cutting Tools Division, effective immediately.
“Since joining our team, Troy has played a pivotal role in Ceratizit’s continued growth in the US market,” stated Dan Cope, President of the Americas for Ceratizit. “His strategic vision and deep industry knowledge have been instrumental in fostering strong relationships with customers and peers which is the kind of leadership that will build on our current success.”
A graduate of Miami University in Ohio, Wilt began his career in 1989 at a cutting tools distributor, where he spent nine years developing a deep understanding of the industry. In 1998, he moved into a sales position with a major cutting tool manufacturer and served customers in West Central Ohio. His sales experience and work in customer service were reputed to have led to significant growth in his region, resulting in the territory being split three times within five years to better manage increased demand.
Wilt went on to sales management and, in 2015, began managing a global aerospace OEM where he gained international experience and expanded his knowledge of the cutting tool market. He joined Ceratizit in 2021, becoming National Sales Manager before his current promotion.
“I am committed to leading the organisation towards continued growth and innovation,” said Wilt. “I am passionate about fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration and dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of Ceratizit‘s cutting tool customers.”
